The Dangerous Marriage — Barbara Cartland

It was a marriage arranged for reasons of State -- to protest would be to risk the displeasure of Queen Victoria herself...

So Lady Gloria Winton, young and lovely, put aside her dreams of Love and set out for the tiny kingdom of Arginos. There, Gloria was astonished to find that her intended, Prince Darius, was handsome, charming... and as contrary to the match as she! Just as their mutual reluctance was forming a bond between them, revolution flared... and the pair fled to the countryside to rouse the forces loyal to the throne. Together, Lady Gloria and Prince Darius restored peace, and found a rapturous, everlasting Bliss... as the King and Queen of Hearts!
